"Grown up out of the Spy Kids franchise, awkwardly charming Alexa Vega has run smack into tweens heck."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2.5/4
"The movie isn't trying to be anything other than a breezy romp, and on that level, it succeeds."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2.5/4
"A quality, albeit frothy, teen flick destined to charm its target audience, and maybe even some grown-ups, as well."

"
Sleepover
will do for tween girls what
Max Keeble’s Big Move
did for prepubescent boys: get them beat up at school."

"As always, there are plenty of good movies to take the girls to. There's no need to resort to this."

"Doesn't anyone from
The Daily Show
do anything worthwhile on his down time?"
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul

2/4
"...some may become rather drowsy at this Sleepover...yet another anemic manufactured teen flick...the cheesy sentiment only lasts as long as the aftertaste of a fried Twinkie"

"Might prove a popular draw at slumber parties six months from now, but even its target audience should find it a snoozer on the big screen."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/5
"Sleepover reveals the sad and meaningless goals of some adolescent girls in suburban America who desperately want to be seen as winners."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/5
"Generation X-ers continue to feel superior about their teen films...adding intelligence & darkness can make a generic teen romp into a rewatchable touchstone. Not Sleepover."

"This is the kind of movie a young girl can take and make her own, and in a world full of pandering entertainment, that’s something special."

"[An] atrocious misadventure in teen self-absorption..."

"The movie's irresponsible portrayal of extremely risky and destructive behavior and its distorted notion of grrrl power make it truly disturbing."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3.5/5
"makes you want to be a teenager all over again"
Filmcritic.com
Pete Croatto
2.5/5
"Thanks to a few wacky set pieces, it's not quite as excruciating as it could have been."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B-
"For all of the fantasy elements that might make an adult uneasy,
Sleepover
empowers its 14-year-olds and comes through with a Cinderella story..."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
2/10
"With a derivative, disturbing script that encompasses almost every coarse adolescent comedy cliche and encourages outright lying and deception, it's a lame, tasteless yawn."

Susan Granger
1/4
"Approaching
Sleepover
with any sort of sensitivity or intelligence is an act of extreme masochism."
